I am a postgraduate researcher with the University of Bristol, hosted by the British Geological Survey (BGS) at Keyworth. Having recently returned to studies after working as an engineering geophysicist for six years, my focus is now on the integration of seismic investigation methods into the well-established program of electrical resistivity tomography monitoring currently underway at the BGS. This research focuses on the application of these methods in the monitoring of landslides, with an emphasis on establishing the hydrogeological and geomechanical precursors to slope failure.

I completed an MSc in Applied Environmental Geology from Cardiff University in 2010, and a ...
